Perfect slim iPhone 5 case

Try nail polish remover, with the caveat that there's a risk that it might discolor the case.
Poor design. Edges will catch on things and the areas holding the two pieces together will break quickly.
well if it weren't for all the lame threadjacking going on, we might know which case you're referring to.

start your own thread then.
I just got this noot case today and I have to say it's quite amazing for $2.99. Compared to the highly rated Diztronic case that I have, I actually prefer the noot. It's a little slimmer due to the lack of lip and it actually feels a little lighter as well. It really feels like a natural extension to the iPhone. What I really love however, are the volume and sleep buttons, which are extremely tactile and feels much better than the somewhat tough-to-press Diztronic ones.
I went ahead and bit the bullet by testing out an alcohol swab to the logo and it does come off pretty easily with enough force. The downside is that it leaves a noticeable discolored scuff in it's place that looks worse than the noot name. Kind of regret doing it now, but next time I order something on Amazon i'll just toss another one of these cases into my cart...I mean come on, it's only $3. I'd say it's even a bargain for $10 from the ebay link posted in this thread. Hell, it's better than most brand name $20-$30 cases you can find at Best Buy, and that's not an exaggeration. Unprecedented at this price.

Yeah I agree. It's a great case at a great price. I love slim cases and this was the only one I could find that covers all 4 sides.
I got it off eBay for $1. The cut is the best I've seen so far. No extra cut outs for the sensor, which I think is unnecessary.
It has a slight rainbow effect when the screen is off and you look at it at an angle. Not sure if I could recommend it because of that.
LOVE this case! Got diztronic a few days ago and really liked it, it's thin, well made and feels good. Then I go this (noot) case in the mail today. It's a hair thiner, feels just as good and the buttons have a much better, more responsive feel.
Picked this case up from Amazon based off of reviews here. Received today. It's a wonderful case. Feels great in hands. All sides protected, fits perfect. It almost feels like the phone doesn't have a case even though it does and it has pretty good drop protection. Very pleased for the price. Highly recommended!
It was 2.99 on amazon when you added it with another purchase. Looks like they ended that deal and priced it at 7.99. I ordered from eBay for 9.99 and it came with a laser pointer/ flashlight.
I noticed on the white case you had some bagging or space at the right side bottom. If that doesn't bug you then totally ignore this post. I'm not trying to knock the case cause I like it so much that I bought 2 additional back ups after my initial purchase. What I did want to share is that my first case was a little out of whack at the bottom. I think it got misshapen during shipping. What I did to correct it was to put a tight rubber length wise for an hour or so to pull the baggy part in. The case was then nice and tight all the way around the phone.
This case is one little gem. It's exciting to see a new company in the game hit it on all points of what customers want, when so many of the big companies never get it.
I think I replied to the wrong thread as I don't see the photo with the saggy bottom on the Noot. I'll leave the info here in case it's helpful to anyone else that might have a Noot with the bottom not sitting tight to the iPhone.
I also got the bonus gifts. One pointer with red beams and a Griffin car charger with USB - helpful for the iPhone 5.

Here's another view. I like that they kept all around front but took out the little holes around the speaker that didn't really line up with the iPhone holes. Also, at least from the photos, I'm not seeing the obtrusive logo on the back.
This is a great company that listens to what their customers want.
